How long have you been together? How long have you held a job? How long has it been serious enough to consider marriage? The older you get the more patient you get. A father will say no if you jump the gun because he has learned the value of patience.
Then man up, and ask in a respectful way.
We;ve been together around half the year, ive held down jobs for close to a decade now or so, im technically an upper level manager
Ask at a year, or a significant date to you near the year mark. If she can stay faithful for a year then it's good. That's for you and the father. Wait too long and he will think "you're getting the milk for free" don't wait long enough and he will think its driven by lust.
That';s pretty good advice, if its too short notice it may come off as shocking. I was thinking it might be better to simply wait until the parents bring it up instead, so it seems more natural. Usually i would think its a better sign if its brought up naturally over being forced into a conversation
